1. Psalms 42 & 43 To the choirmaster. A Maskil of the Sons of Korah. WHERE IS GOD?

2. 1 Like a deer longs for streams, so my soul longs for you, God; 2 my soul thirsts for God, for the God who’s alive. O when shall I come and appear before God?

3. 3 My tears are my food both by day and by night, While they say to me all the day, “Where is your God?” 4 These things I remember and pour out my soul:

4. When I went with the throng I would lead them along To God’s house with glad shouts and a thanksgiving song, A multitude keeping festival!

5. 5 Why are you cast down, O my soul? Why are you troubled within me? Hope in God; for I again shall praise him, My salvation and my God.

6. 6 My soul is cast down in me, so I’ll recall You from Jordan and Hermon’s land, from Mizar’s Hill. 7 Deep calls to deep at your waterfalls’ roar.

7. All your breaking waves crashing up over me pass. 8 The L ORD daily commands his love; nightly his song Is with me, as a prayer to the God of my life.

8. 9 I ask God, my rock: “Why forget me? Oh why do I grieve in oppression from enemies?” 10 They break my bones, all day taunt me, “Where’s your God?”

9. 11 Why are you cast down, O my soul? Why are you troubled within me? Hope in God; for I again shall praise him, My salvation and my God.

10. 43:1 O vindicate me, God! Contend for my cause Against faithless people, and liberate me From anyone who is unjust or tells lies!

11. 2 For you are my God and my refuge. O why Reject me? Why am I oppressed by my foes I am grieving, 3 Oh send out your light and your truth!

12. Let them lead me and bring me to your holy hill, To your home, 4 to your altar, to God my great joy! And on a lyre I’ll praise you, God, my God!

13. 5 Why are you cast down, O my soul? Why are you troubled within me? Hope in God; for I again shall praise him, My salvation and my God. © 2015 Psalter Project. Lyrics: Derek Moore. Music: Emily Moore.
